Namaste! Thanks for visiting my website. I am Santhosh Kumar Sharma Gollapelli, an Astrologer and Developer of this website. Please go through my profile to learn more about me.
Native Place..
I am from Dharmapuri, an ancient Brahmin Agraharam (A Village given (as Dana) to Brahmins by Kings/ Rulers regarding their knowledge of the Vedas and Shastras) in Telangana, India. It is on the banks of the holy river Godavari, an ancient pilgrim centre of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. You can see Lord Brahma and Lord Yama in this place only in India. To know more about our place, Visit our temple's site http://srilakshminarasimha.org (formerly http://dharmapurishrine.org)
My Family..
As a fifth child, I was born in a traditional Brahmin family in the Dharmapuri village (Jagityal District, Telangana). My father late, Sri Anjaiah, was a teacher and my mother, Smt. Venkata Lakshmi is a home maker. She serves people with her Ayurveda Medicines as a hobby since she has good knowledge of them. We are five brothers and two sisters.
My Education..
I earned my postgraduate degree in Telugu Literature from Osmania University in 1997. From childhood to my degree completion, my education was primarily focused on languages, specifically Telugu and Sanskrit, and their literature. Upon completing my postgraduate studies, I began delving into astrology.
Astrology....
It was in October 1996, on the Day of Vijaya Dashami (Dasara) (a massive festival for all Hindus). I was sitting near a Temple, and suddenly, I got a thought somebody was saying to me, "Why don't I learn Astrology???". Until then, I did not know even a single thing about astrology. But as a traditional family, we saw some astrological debates between my uncles. Immediately after the thought of learning astrology, I went to my uncle's (Late. Sri Gollapelli Pedda Hanmandlu, a well-known traditional astrologer from Dhamapuri) house and asked him to teach me Astrology. He kindly accepted my request. It was a Swayam Siddha Muhurta day when I started learning Astrology. It's been a tough challenge for me as I need to learn the basic things like the numbers and names of Nakshatras and rashes. In the meantime, I completed my P.G. Exams and continued learning astrology. I wanted to do a PhD. In Telugu, the Almighty's wish was different, and I obeyed it.
By birth, I am a Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis patient. With the effect of the disease, I suddenly lost sensation in both my legs while I was going to write an entrance exam for my PhD. This incident has changed my whole life. I had to take bed rest for a year. After recovering a little bit, I started learning about astrology again. I studied traditional astrology for three years. As my uncle was a traditional astrologer, he did not teach the other systems of astrology. By studying the books of Sri Sivala Subrahmanyam and other writers, I learned that K.P. Astrology is more accurate than other systems in astrology. So I studied K.P. System too. I also referred to Lalkitab and some other systems in Vedic Astrology. With the knowledge, I gained from my gurus and books, I practised it day and night for over three years. Only then did I start giving astrology services to people.
Online Services/ Website..
In the year 2002, my cousin (Late Shri Velpuri Srinivas) encouraged me to start free Astrology services online to people through our Temple website http://srilakshminarasimha.org (Formerly dharmapurishrine.org). Within a short period, I got tremendous responses from all over the world. Most of them are Telugu people from various countries. They asked me to start a complete website for various astrology services in Telugu, as there was no Telugu Astrology website before my website. With the help of my cousin, Late Mr V.Srinivas, I started this website in April 2004. For the last 20 years, through my website onlinejyotish.com, I have been giving astrology services. We offer various paid and free astrology services through this website. Janmakundali for complete chart analysis, forecast reports for analysing a particular issue, Consultancy Service for instant analysis and discussion of your birth chart and problems, Horary Astrology to get answers for various types of problems and situations, birth time rectification for unknown birth time, Muhurta service for selecting a good time for various Auspicious events, Kundali Matching for selecting right life partner with the help of Vedic Astrology, and in free services you can find numerous services like daily pachanga, Rashiphal (Rashiphal), know your birth sign, monthly predictions and many more.
